Goat update:

I believe the goat has gone from hating us to a state of mild irritation. I think he's getting the picture that we're not going to kill him. He seemed to come around a little after I gave him a bowl of grain. I checked on him a few minutes ago and he was out of his crate eating hay.

Rogue Juror suggested the name Evil Boy. I like it.
 
Such a cool looking guy! Poor thing scared peeing himself! MrsX, make sure you talk to him all the time like he is a family member. More you talk animals, smarter they become. MrsMonkey always talks to Peanut our dog like she is part of the family. Keep us updated! :yes:

Wait? You got a goat and you aren't going to kill it? I figured the only reason you got a goat was for the meat....man goat meat is good......
 

Aw cmon. It's great. It goes with the theme of the barnyard too. Our name for Romeo is Bad Horse, it's so perfect.


He got out last night. There was goat poop in the barn. I couldn't figure out why he would go back into his pen in the morning but I got a text message that the owner found him in the yard and wrangled him back into his pen. I fed him a bowl of grain this morning. He took one small bite and started to chew it before he remembered he hated me and backed up. I ordered tags for him last night and I'm going to go buy him a dog collar today. I have a feeling that he's going to get loose a few times before we can goat proof the yard totally.

The stray cat that I've been feeding came into the house last night when Mr. X left the back door open when he went to the garage. I called the spay release place a few days ago. They provide traps and free surgeries. I know it's the right thing to do, but driving to get the trap, and then having to deal with another angry animal seems pretty annoying. But, if I don't, there's going to be a litter of kittens under our deck, probably in the snow and it's going to be irritating then because then either I ignore them there and they populate the neighborhood with more cats or I then have to catch a litter of kittens and deal with them. All options are not enticing.
